Description
In #1926 I replaced an old, expired key. Its ghost is haunting me still.
In trying to use keybase encrypt djmitche, a colleague of mine sees:
▶ INFO Identifying recipient djmitche
✔ <tracked> public key fingerprint: D809 7934 A92E 4B42 1036 8102 FF8B 7AC6 154E 3226

▶ ERROR For user "djmitche": 1 track component failed
the third line is in red, so I'm guessing (despite the checkmark) that's the component that's failing. What can I do to fix this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the keybase encrypt djmitche command and inspect the track-component output for the tracked and deleted proofs. Determine why the replaced key still appears during recipient identification; done means the old key no longer causes the command to report a failed track component.
